ISSUE 09
published 25th August 2023
Having abolished Manchester, we do not yearn for a Lancashire of the past. In this, our ninth issue, we take a critical look back at former Northern "glories". We recognise the darkness of the mines and quality culture amassed, but challenge both in order to move ourselves forward. We cannot remain contextless.
